Pimping out my new S3. . .

TDLR: WHAT ARE SOME COOL THINGS/IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS TO DO TO PIMP OUT MY S3?!

Suggestions I heard already in the busiest chat activity pf had for a long time:

1. Rooting phone.
2. Tapatalk, Airdroid, undervolting, etc.

Also, since this thread is in no-count: Feel free to completely derail the original topic of this post. I'll love to be a wallflower for this one.

Backstory: I got a new S3 yesterday.

My mother bought the family new phones (we were more than a year overdue for an upgrade). But in the process, she accidentally sucked the soul out of my phone and morphed it into a vegetable (read: no service).

Combine that with the fact I had no internet at home, the result was that I was completely unreachable for a few days.

I come home to the best Christmas/birthday/next birthday/the-birthday-after-that-birthday present I have ever received (and that I had never asked for): A Galaxy S3.

Coming off from a seven-year old, sliding phone that had half its screen broken. . .I'm completely stumped.

Meeko as said root it, but always verify what Model number your phone is (settings-> about-device-> model number) to make sure your using the right method of it. Roms are a good thing but will take time to find the right one for you. I'm still on official but taken off the bloatware stuff which is not bad.

Also you don't have to constantly install apps from the phone. play.google.com and log in with the gmail account that the phone is setup. Then choose app and pressed "install to device", presto it gets install when phone has internet.

I am extremely content with the official rom, plus it being rooted though. Use to be heavy in custom rom including CM but official rom does everything and if I need something theres a app for it or a terminal window will do.
Also I don't think meeko will get in on the custom rom (maybe upto rooting) until he figures out how to make a call, we can miss that detail so easy with these phones

Stock got a lot better when the phone companies started stripping a ton of shit out of the interface when ICS came around, TouchWiz for this example. TouchWiz UX is actually really nice. Smooth as fuck. Kinda wish you could get TouchWiz on AOSP, but it's so ingrained in everything that it's impossible.

Luckily, Nova or Apex are also really nice. Trebuchet is a bit limited.
